Bundles can help only so much they need a price drop and just get the hardware out there once its out focus on content to make up the losses. It just pisses me off that they are letting this portable console die and they seem to be ok with it like they don't care...smh

Yep I agree. And lets not forget the obscenely overpriced memory cards.

They need to sell those in a bundle where you pay for one and get 4.... As a sony fan I struggle with there recent logic and accepting failure which is how it appears. My god they better knock it out of the park at E3 next year.

Yep and in their PR statements they always say how happy they are with the sales. Go figure.

There will probably an official price drop in japan next year around the time of Soul Sacrifice releasing - March I think it is. The demo was released this week on JP psn and the game is being received very well so word of mouth + price drop + no MH4 releasing at the same time = some form of hope

Edit: On second thought: It could go the above way, or they could just continue with how things are now and bundle the $#@! out of it and hope things change for the better; which they won't. Subsequently, Soul Sacrifice will not sell as many copies as the quality of the game deserve and it'll be a Sony classic

At this point a price drop would benefit more than content. Even with great content when compared to the more established PSP and 3ds being cheaper with better libraries I don't think it'll help as much now if great content and a price drop happen at the same time like it did with 3ds then that would be the best chance to turn it around like nintendo did with the 3ds

Focus on the entry price level at this point we are screwed by taking a loss per unit so we need to focus on how we can get the hardware in more peoples hands. The bigger the user base the more potential to move software and profit on software and accessories.

I would find a way to bundle accessories with a screen cleaner or skin kit.

We shall see!

Yeah it's looking great, I'm much more tempted to get one than I was a year ago with the current lineup. Problem is, even though PSP lacked western development support, it had (and still has) very strong Japanese developer support, the Vita kinda lacks both.
